I get a crash to the desk top when I try ot load a saved game. I have reinstalled several times and get the same result
Included is a debug.err of the latest. This was right after an install. I created a new game and immediately saved and exited the game. On attempting to load the saved game I got the usual crash.
Very annoying
I tried to send this in from home and it still hasn't appeared on the board so I am resubmitting it
The "business end" always seems to be
